If Dogs and Cats Could Talk, What Would They Say? #ShortStory #DianaMarySharpton

Introduction:“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.” ― Christopher HitchensI must admit to a certain level of discrimination with
the pets I have owned over the years (i.e. cats and dogs). I loved them both
don’t get me wrong. It’s just that, I always felt my cat pets were a tad bit
more intelligent and my dog pets were vastly more loyal. Each pet of course had
a special place in my heart and life.

My Cat Pets:

Interestingly or not were named Michi (6) with three
exceptions Billboy, Pewee and DC (Darn Cat for short), mainly, because my
sister’s cat already had taken the name of Michi. Michi is a short slang name
in Mexico for CAT and I know it’s not very original but it always worked for
me. I would look at each cat differently and remember their individuality and
how they lite up my life. My experiences with cat pets were that they required
little attention, learned quickly where the liter utility box was located and
loved to exercise their claw sharpening skills on the back of your best
furniture.

My Dog Pets:

Pluto, Quissor (5) and Franky. Like the name Michi for
my cat pets, I held on to the name Quissor for

my dog pets. I am
really not sure what psychological connotation may or can be derived from the
inability to come up with new and different names for my pets but it always felt
right and it is what it is. My dog pets were always with me, horseback riding,
walking and exploring the neighbor hoods. Unlike the outdoor dogs, I found my
house dog to be somewhat needed and potting training was not fun. It left me
needing a dog whisperer. I would have gone this route, if they didn't charge
$250/per hour with a minimum of two hours to train. I was in such sticker shock
that I almost considered reading up on the art behind dog whispering as a
potential second source of income. This fell through due to my lack of patience
in the first place.

The bottom line is that I loved both kinds of pets.
They brought different levels of affection and interaction to the table. I
found that outside dogs worked better for me than the in-house variety. Anyway,
I have had the ability to connect with animals and I have always wondered what
a CAT or DOG would say if they could.

So when I came across the below two videos, which are
essentially a satirical parody on dogs and cats, I could not help myself, I
just had to share with you. I highly recommend listening to them, they are
hilarious and it only takes a couple of minutes of your time. I promise your
day will lighten up!

T. S. Elliot wrote that “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things”.
